I’m looking for something that could sniff over the wire.
Do you have any idea for it? Thanks

My requirement is to log SOAP request and SAOP response in the WCF service inside Service method call itself.
Can you please help me on this?

Very helpful piece of code. No one else has attempted anything similar. Thanks for that. What I am looking for is slightly different. I am consuming an external service. I have no control over this third party service. I need to capture data sent and received. (Something completely opposite to what you have implemented.) :-)

Shan,

I regenerated the proxy and it works fine now. I suggest that you do the same.

Hi Deepak,

First of all thanks for the great code,am trying to write a WCF to grab xml message from MSMQ and route to another queue.

Just downloaded your code and convert the version to VS2010 but when try to build i got these below errors,can you pls advise me what am missing here ?

Error 1 The type or namespace name ‘Client’ does not exist in the namespace ‘CaptureXML.Client.CaptureXML’ (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\CRS_PROJECT\CaptureXML\CaptureXML.Client\Service References\CaptureXML.Service\Reference.cs 23 56 CaptureXML.Client

Hi Brandon,

You have hooked the events, right?

item.RaiseRequestReceived +=
new EventHandler(Form1_RaiseRequestReceived);
item.RaiseSendingReply +=
new EventHandler(Form1_RaiseSendingReply);

It should work as I have been using this code in many projects. I did modify it slightly for some work I did recently but it was only because the host is not a Windows Forms app.

I can have a look at your code if you like.

Regards,

Deepak

Hi,
I got the web services working but there is no request and response date showing. Look like the events don’t get fired. Can you please advice on this?

Cheers,

This is a great example! Can you tell me if it is tied to a SOAP-based implementation of WCF? I am trying to take your principals here and merge them into a REST-based implementation I have, and am always getting a NULL message (In InspectorEventArgs).

Any thoughts on how we might do this in a REST-based WCF Service?

Is there a different class that I must use to account for this when I configure the Behavior?

I have a Win32 Service that we host our REST-based WCF service in.

While the WCF IDispatchMessageInspector does give you access to the messages xml request it does not give you access to the true raw message if there is an issue with it.

{… Error reading body: System.Xml.XmlException: Start element ‘plan:req’ does not match end element ‘plan:Echo’. Line 15, position 18. …} System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message {System.ServiceModel.Channels.BufferedMessage}

WCF should give you a way to get to the raw message data prior to the xml deserialzation.

The value of true message logging is you can log messages that are good and messages that are bad, and IDispatchMessageInspector only allows good, also I would not expect a non-development box to use WCF Tracing, nor would that type of tool be allowed in a production install of a product.
